Who did you go the prom with?
Concordia didn't have proms. Why? I don't know, and I don't remember any discussion about it.
We did have something unusual.
We did have a jail. It was used to lock up captured slaves. That's all I know about it.
We did have a homecoming queen. She selected me as her escort, which I was proud of.
I was homecoming king in some respects.
A friend of mine in Defiance and I went to Ft. Wayne on date with a couple girls. Her whole family left her house on the night we had the date.

What did you look forward to the most as a child?
I liked experimenting with electricity. I had a car horn. I would hook up the positive terminal to a battery, and when I hooked up the negative terminal, the horn would blow. Years later, when I was around thirty years old, I built a stereo amplifier, out of a kit. The amplifier had tubes, and they glowed with blue flickers, when playing.
Andy Wolfrum ran an electric line to our house. I wired our house with a plug, and two light fixture outlets, when I was about fourteen. I did it all by myself without any help. Nobody asked me to do it. I paid for it.
I worked for a farmer while I was in grade school. He had a device in his chicken house, which turned on the lights early in the morning. It was an alarm clock which dropped a handle, and turned on a switch, when the alarm went off. It impressed me.
I looked forward to Grandma Wolfrum’s cooking and baking. Her dandelion salads appealed to me, and her sugar cookies also.
My grandfather, Andy, would take me along, when he got food ground up for the animals. He would go to the bar, while he was there, and take me with him.
Thank you Nancy for the kind words.
I’m posting everything on STORYWORTH to my website.

What is your best advice when it comes to raising children?
My answer is based on this Wikipedia article:
HTTPS://EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG/WIKI/PARENTING_STYLES
Four styles are discussed in the article:
Authoritative, Authoritarian, Neglectful, and Indulgent/Permissive.
I choose the Indulgent/Permissive style.
I choose my grandfather Andy Wolfrum’s style.
I knew a girl, whose life was harmed by an authoritarian mother.
I think my wife, Mary Ruth, agrees with me on this.
What famous or important people have you encountered in real life?
Angelo Fonzi from Pittsburgh, PA was a famous person, who my wife and I knew.
His business was located in Hammond, IN at the end of his career. Hammond IN is near Chicago IL His freight terminals were in Hammond IN, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Maryland, Kentucky, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, and Georgia,
This is intended to show the size of Great American Lines, and is not precise. It does show that Angelo Fonzi’s life touched many lives over a wide area.
Universal Am-Can Ltd is the name of the company, which bought Great American lines.
Frank Miglioroto, Sfaceat Kiyway on Facebook, is a former driver for Great American Lines.
Fonzi’s wife Ellen sold their house in Dyer IN for $900,000. She has moved to Pittsburgh PA.
